Wow what a couple of weeks! In the past 12 days, I've somehow managed to ( Read more... )

So the last week has been pretty exciting. I've officially been here for two weeks and already I've joined two collectives and gotten laid once ( Read more... )

Hi LJ,

Long time no speak.  I thought I'd let you in on a lil' secret....

...I no longer live in Montreal :O

That's right I have moved to the soon-to-be-Olympic hellhole known as Vancougar *eep*  I'm feeling kinda lazy right now, but thought it would be appropriate to update this thing, so I'll do it in the classic way:

This is going to be my 4th full ( Read more... )

So, last night, I had booked the jam space so that my punk band (The Rimjobs) could practice but, alas, only Samuel and I ended up showing up.  I had been in an odd, kind of stagnant-blah mood all day so at the beginning of practice I was some combination of pissy/bitchy, angry, and aloof,   Well, instead of pouting, I decided to have a go on the ( Read more... )

After we parted ways it really made me think of the myriad conversations like that I've had in my life.  And, I guess, especially so in ( Read more... )

My thought patterns these days have been really introspective.  It's a combination of fall weather, being done university, turning 25 soon, being at a place of (relative) comfortableness w/ my new body, and having a lot more free time.  As a result I've been listening to a lot of the bands I mentioned yesterday and rereading my old HearattaCk zines ( Read more... )
